How to make a glass of paper?

Remember how in early childhood everyone bought sunflower seeds and poured their neat little pads? It was very inconvenient when such a bag turned around, and for some reason it was possible to make it strong only from sellers of these same seeds. The most skilled ones themselves made such cups from paper sheets. They say that it is no more complicated than an airplane or a boat. In addition, such a device is capable of retaining even water, though not for long, therefore it is better, of course, to pour nuts or seeds into it. In this article, we will share the secret of how to make a paper cup with our own hands.

Do-it-yourself cup

For the manufacture we need a paper sheet and scissors. This is the fastest and easiest way to make an interesting and functional accessory that even a child can handle:

1. Take a sheet, cut it so that you get a square.
2. Fold the resulting square diagonally.
3. Fold the front layer of paper and push it apart.
4. Bend the right corner of the triangle to the left side.
5. Then bend the left corner in the same way, only to the other side - to the right side.
6. Now bend the upper part to the sides, the front - to yourself, and the back - to the other side.
7. Squeeze the craft on both sides and on top.

So we got a great paper cup!

Important! If you wrap it with plastic wrap, such a product can repel water. Thus, it will become more durable and will not become sour immediately.

• If you initially take a double sheet, then this craft will last a longer time.
• In the process of folding the product, try to make more right angles to achieve a better result.

Warnings:

• Such a paper product is absolutely not suitable for hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, because it is likely to burn your hands. In addition, boiling water is able to roll polyethylene inside the cup, which you used to give the product durability.
• This craft is not intended for long drinking. It is capable of absorbing liquid in itself for a short time and falling apart.
• If you plan to make a cup for drinking liquid, then do not use the material where something was written or printed, because ink can absorb into water.
